Brandy Pond in Naples, Maine, Offers Lakefront Buyers a Piece of Prime Real Estate


Brandy Pond in Naples, Maine
Prime lakefront real estate can be found tucked between the pines on Brandy Pond. Located in Naples, Maine, Brandy Pond is the middle of three interlocking lakes that cover more than 35,000 acres and has long been the link between Long Lake and Sebago Lake. The pond, at 733 acres with a maximum depth of 44 feet and an average depth of 16 feet, was originally called the Bay of Naples.

Chute River, the area’s shortest river, connects Brandy Pond to its northern neighbor, Long Lake. The river flows under the bridge on the Naples Causeway. Access from Brandy Pond to its southern neighbor, Sebago Lake, is through the historic Songo Lock and Songo River.

The Songo Lock was built on the river about 1830 to allow passage of boats from Harrison to Sebago and on to Portland via the Oxford-Cumberland Canal. This was the primary commercial and recreational travel route during Maine’s early development. Though one can no longer travel via boat to Portland, the connection to the two larger lakes still gives boaters an opportunity to explore more than 35 miles of shoreline.

Lakefront property owners will find three full service marinas on the Brandy Pond: Causeway Marina, Moose Landing Marina and Naples Marina. Boat rentals, slips, gas, maintenance and storage are available at these marinas. Or you might enjoy a seaplane ride or seaplane instructions.

If you prefer to paddle a boat, kayaks are rented and sold on the Causeway.

This rather small pond is dotted with cozy cottages and year-round homes. Unlike the busier Sebago Lake, Brandy Pond is fairly calm. A harbormaster enforces boating safety.  Activities, including water-skiing and fishing, are prevalent. Anglers are known to hook landlocked salmon, brook trout and brown trout, as well as bass, perch, pickerel and more.

On the Causeway, you’ll find places to casual and fine dining.  Or you might walk up to Bray’s Brew Pub for a Brandy Pond Blonde Ale. Golfers will enjoy playing  a round of golf at the Naples Golf and Country Club, which overlooks the pond.

Just imagine tucking yourself into the pines that surround Brandy Pond and enjoying the sunset views across the lake. Leave your car in the driveway and take your boat to town, where you can tie up at the pier and walk to the restaurants, shops and other conveniences.
